Without adequate sleep, our ability to perform daily tasks can be significantly impaired.3.Sleep helps regulate our hormones. Lack of sleep can disrupt the balance of hormones, leading to weight gain and other health problems.4.Sleep improves our mood.

In his latest study, he investigates how sleep deprivation affects problem-solving abilities.Dr. Brown explains that during sleep, the brain processes and consolidates information, which is crucial for memory formation and problem-solving. Sleep deprivation, however, can hinder this process, leading to decreased cognitive performance.In his study, Dr. Brown divided participants into two groups. One group was allowed to sleep for 8 hours, while the other group was kept awake for 24 hours. After the sleep deprivation period, both groups were given a series ofproblem-solving tasks to complete.The results were striking. The group that had slept for 8 hours performed significantly better on the problem-solving tasks than the group that had been kept awake. The sleep-deprived group showed slower reaction times, lower accuracy, and higher levels of stress.Dr. Brown concludes that adequate sleep is essential for optimal cognitive performance. Sleep deprivation not only impairs problem-solving abilities but also has long-term negative effects on mental health and overall well-being.Questions1、What is the main focus of Dr. John Brown’s research?A) The effects of stress on sleepB) The importance of sleep in cognitive performanceC) The role of genetics in sleep patternsD) The impact of caffeine on sleep quality2、How does sleep deprivation affect cognitive performance, according to Dr. Brown?A) It improves reaction times and accuracyB) It enhances memory formation and problem-solving abilitiesC) It hinders the brain’s ability to process and consolidate informationD) It has no significant impact on cognitive performance3、What is the conclusion Dr. Brown draws from his study?A) Sleep deprivation has no negative effects on cognitive performanceB) Adequate sleep is unnecessary for optimal cognitive performanceC) The quality of sleep is more important than the quantity of sleepD) Sleep deprivation can have long-term negative effects on mental health and overall well-beingAnswers1、B) The importance of sleep in cognitive performance2、C) It hinders the brain’s ability to process and consolidate information3、D) Sleep deprivation can have long-term negative effects on mental health and overall well-being五、阅读理解-词汇理解(填空题,共5分)第一题Reading passage:In the digital age, our lives are increasingly intertwined with technology.

With just a few clicks, consumers can now access a vast array of products from the comfort of their own homes. This shift has had a significant impact on traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, forcing many to adapt or risk becoming obsolete.The convenience of online shopping is undeniable. Consumers can shop at any time of the day or night, compare prices across different platforms, and read reviews from other customers. However, this convenience comes with its own set of challenges. One major concern is the issue of online security, as consumers are vulnerable to identity theft and fraud. Additionally, the lack of physical interaction with products can lead to dissatisfaction with the purchase, especially when it comes to clothing or electronics.Despite these challenges, online shopping continues to grow in popularity. One reason for this is the rise of social media, which has become a powerful tool for promoting products and influencing consumer behavior. Influencers, for example, can showcase products to their followers, who may then be more inclined to make a purchase. Moreover, the rise of mobile shopping has made it even easier for consumers to shop on the go.Questions:1、What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. The rise of online shopping has changed the way people shop.B. Online shopping is convenient but has its drawbacks.C. Traditional retailers are struggling to compete with online shopping.D.

CriticalAnswers:1、A2、C3、C4、B5、BSecond QuestionPassage:The Digital Divide and Its Impact on EducationIn the age of information technology, access to digital resources has become increasingly important for educational success. However, there exists a significant gap in access between those who have ready access to computers and the internet and those who do not. This phenomenon is known as the digital divide. It affects students in various ways, from limiting their ability to complete homework assignments that require internet access to hindering their development of critical digital literacy skills necessa ry for today’s job market.While urban areas tend to have better infrastructure and more resources tosupport digital education, rural communities often lag behind. Schools in these regions may lack the funding needed to provide adequate computer facilities and internet connectivity, leaving students at a disadvantage when it comes to competing with their peers in more technologically advanced settings.Moreover, the digital divide also extends beyond hardware and connectivity issues. There is a disparity in the availability of digital literacy training programs that teach individuals how to effectively use technology. Without such training, even if hardware and connectivity were available, many students would still struggle to make effective use of digital tools for learning.Efforts to bridge the digital divide include initiatives aimed at providing affordable internet access and devices to underprivileged communities as well as programs designed to train educators and students in digital literacy. Despite these efforts, challenges remain, particularly in ensuring equitable access to technology across all socioeconomic groups.Questions:1、What does the term “digital divide” refer to?A. The gap in technology access between different socioeconomic groups.B. The difference in technology preferences among students.C. The physical distance between urban and rural areas.D. The separation of online and offline educational resources.Answer: A2、How does the digital divide affect students’ educational outcomesaccording to the passage?A. By limiting their access to traditional textbooks.B. By preventing them from participating in extracurricular activities.C. By hindering their ability to complete homework that requires internet access.D. By reducing the number of subjects they can study.Answer: C3、Which area is more likely to face challenges due to the digital divide?A. Urban areas with high population density.B. Rural communities with limited resources.C. Suburban neighborhoods with moderate income levels.D. Metropolitan cities with advanced technological infrastructure.Answer: B4、What additional issue besides hardware and connectivity is mentioned regarding the digital divide?A. The cost of software subscriptions.B. The lack of digital literacy training programs.C. The shortage of qualified teachers.D. The absence of government regulations.Answer: B5、What kind of efforts are being made to reduce the impact of the digital divide?A. Increasing the production of printed materials.B. Providing affordable internet access and digital literacy training.C. Encouraging the use of traditional teaching methods.D. Reducing the emphasis on technology in schools.Answer: BThis completes the section on Long Reading Comprehension for the CET Level 4 exam preparation.七、阅读理解-仔细阅读(选择题,共20分)第一题Reading PassagesPassage 1In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of effective communication skills cannot be overstated.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list ofchoices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified bya letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Trust is fundamental to life. If you can't trust anything, life becomes intolerable. You can't have relationships without trust, let alone good ones.In the workplace, too,trust is26_.An organization without trust will be full of fear and 27If you work for a boss who doesn't trust their employees to do things right, you'll have a 28t ime. They'll be checking up on you all the time, correcting “mistakes”and29 reminding you to do this or that. Colleagues who don't trust one another will need to spend more time 30their backs than doing any useful work.Organizations are always trying to cut costs. Think of all the additional tasks caused by lack of trust. Audit (审计)departments only exist because of it.Companies keep large volumes of31_because they don't trust their suppliers, their contractors or their customers. Probably more than half of alladministrative work is only there because of an ever-existing sense that “you can't trust anyone these days.”If even a small part of such valueless work could be _32,the savings would run into millions of dollars.All this is extra work we33onto ourselves because we don't trust people-the checking, following through, doing things ourselves because we don't believe others will do them34-or at all. If we took all thataway, how much extra time would we suddenly find in our life? How much of our work35would disappear?A)constantlyB)credibleC)essentialD)exploringE)gather F)loadG)miserableH)pressureI)properlyJ)recordsK)removedL)stacksM)suspicionN)trackedO)watchingSection BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Place Where the Poor Once ThrivedA) This is the land of opportunity. If that weren't already implied by the landscape-rolling green hills, palm trees, sun-kissed flowers-then it's evident in the many stories of people who grew up poor in these sleepy neighborhoods and rose to enormous success. People like Tri Tran, who fled Vietnam on a boat in 1986, showed up in San Jose with nothing, made it to MIT, and then founded the food-delivery start-up Munchery, which is valued at $ 300 million.B) Indeed, data suggests that this is one of the best places to grow up poor in America. A child born in the early 1980s into a low-income family in San Jose had a 12.9 percent chance of becoming a high earner as an adult, according to a landmark study released in 2014 by the economist Raj Chetty and his colleagues from Harvard and Berkeley.That number-12.9 percent-may not seem remarkable, but it was:Kids in San Jose whose families fell in the bottom quintile(五分位数)of income nationally had the best shot in the country at reaching the top quintile.C) By contrast, just 4. 4 percent of poor kids in Charlotte moved up to the top; in Detroit the figure was 5.5 percent. San Jose had social mobility comparable to Denmark's and Canada's and higher than other progressive cities such as Boston and Minneapolis.D)The reasons kids in San Jose performed so well might seem obvious. Some of the world's most innovative companies are located here, providing opportunities such as the one seized by a 12-year-old Mountain View resident named Steve Jobs when he called William Hewlett to ask for spare parts and subsequently received a summer job. This is a city of immigrants-38 percent of the city's population today is foreign-born-and immigrants and their children have historically experienced significant upward mobility in America. The city has long had a large foreign-born population (26.5 percent in 1990), leading to broader diversity, which, the Harvard and Berkeley economists say, is a good predictor of mobility.E) Indeed, the streets of San Jose seem, in some ways, to embody the best of America. It's possible to drive in a matter of minutes from sleek(光亮的)office towers near the airport where people pitch ideas to investors, to single-family homes with orange trees in their yards, or to a Vietnamese mall. The libraries here offer programs in 17 languages, and there are areas filled with small businesses owned by Vietnamese immigrants, Mexican immigrants, Korean immigrants, and Filipino immigrants, to name a few.F) But researchers aren't sure exactly why poor kids in San Jose did so well. The city has a low prevalence of children growing up in single-parent families, and a low level of concentrated poverty, both factors thatusually mean a city allows for good intergenerational mobility. But San Jose also performs poorly on some of the measures correlated with good mobility. It is one of the most unequal places out of the 741 that the researchers measured,and it has high degrees of racial and economic segregation (隔离).Its schools underperform based on how much money there is in the area, said Ben Scuderi, a predoctoral fellow at the Equality of Opportunity Project at Harvard, which uses big data to study how to improve economic opportunities for low-income children. “There's a lot going on here which we don't totally understand,”he said. “It's interesting, because it kind of defies our expectations.”G) The Chetty data shows that neighborhoods and places mattered for children born in the San Jose area of the 1980s. Whether the city still allows for upward mobility of poor kids today, though, is up for debate. Some of the indicators such as income inequality, measured by the Equality of Opportunity Project for the year 2000, have only worsened in the past 16 years.H)Some San Jose residents say that as inequality has grown in recent years, upward mobility has become much more difficult to achieve. As Silicon Valley has become home to more successful companies, the flood of people to the area has caused housing prices to skyrocket. By most measures, San Jose is no longer a place where low-income, or even middle-income families, can afford to live. Rents in San Jose grew 42.6 percent between 2006 and 2014, which was the largest increase in the country during that time period. The city has a growing homelessness problem, which it tried to address by shutting down “The Jungle,”one of the largest homeless encampments(临时住地)in the nation,in 2014. Inequality is extreme. The Human Development Index-a measure of life expectancy, education and per capita(人均的)income-gives East San Jose a score of 4.85 out of 10,while nearby Cupertino, where Apple's headquarters sits, receives a 9.26. San Jose used to have a happy mix of factors-cheap housing, closeness to a rapidly developing industry, tightly-knit immigrant communities-that together opened up the possibility of prosperity for even its poorest residents. But in recent years, housing prices have skyrocketed, the region's rich and poor have segregated,and middle-class jobs have disappeared. Given this, the future for the region's poor doesn't look nearly as bright as it once did.I) Leaders in San Jose are determined to make sure that the city regains its status as a place where even poor kids can access the resources to succeed. With Silicon Valley in its backyard, it certainly has the chance to do so.“I think there is a broad consciousness in the Valley that we can do better than to leave thousands of our neighbors behind through a period of extraordinary success,”San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said. J)But in today's America-a land of rising inequality,increasing segregation,and stagnating(不增长的)middle-class wages-can the San Jose region really once again become a place of opportunity?K) The idea that those at the bottom can rise to the top is central to America's ideas about itself. That such mobility has become more difficult in San Jose raises questions about:the endurance of that foundational belief. After all, if the one-time land of opportunity can't be fixed, what does that say for the rest of America?36. According to some people living in San Jose, it has become much harder for the poor to get ahead due to the increased inequality.37.In American history, immigrants used to have a good chance to move upward in society.38. If the problems of San Jose can't be solved, one of America's fundamental beliefs about itself can be shaken.39. San Jose was among the best cities in America for poor kids to move up the social ladder..40. Whether poor kids in San Jose today still have the chance to move upward is questionable.41. San Jose's officials are resolved to give poor kids access to the resources necessary for success in life.42. San Jose appears to manifest some of the best features of America.43. As far as social mobility is concerned, San Jose beat many other progressive cities in America.44. Due to some changes like increases in housing prices inSan Jose,the prospects for its poor people have dimmed.45.Researchers do not have a clear idea why poor children in San Jose achieved such great success several decades ago.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Three children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental health condition.Half of these are behavioural disorders, while one third are emotional disorders such as stress,anxiety and depression, which often become outwardly apparent through self-harm. There was an astonishing 52 per cent jump in hospital admissions for children and young people who had harmed themselves between 2009 and 2015.Schools and teachers have consistently reported the scale of the problem since 2009. Last year, over half of teachers reported that more of their pupils experience mental health problems than in the past. But teachers also consistently report how ill-equipped they feel to meet pupils' mental health needs, and often cite a lack of training,expertise and support from the National Health Service(英国国家医疗服务体系).Part of the reason for the increased pressure on schools is that there are now fewer 'early intervention(干预)'and low-level mental health services based in the community. Cuts to local authority budgets since 2010 have resulted in a significant decline of these services, despite strong evidence of their effectiveness in preventing crises further down the line.The only way to break the pressures on both mental health services and schools is to reinvest in early intervention services inside schools.There are strong arguments for why schools are best placed to provide mental health services. Schools see young people more than any other service, which gives them a unique ability to get to hard-to-reach children and young people and build meaningful relationships with them over time. Recent studies have shown that children and young people largely prefer to see a counsellor in school rather than in an outside environment. Young people have reported that for low-level conditions such as stress and anxiety, a clinical setting can sometimes be daunting(令人却步的).There are already examples of innovative schools which combine mental health and wellbeing provision with a strong academic curriculum. This will, though, require a huge cultural shift. Politicians, policymakers, commissioners and school leaders must be brave enough to make the leap towards reimagining schools as providers of health as well as education services.46. What are teachers complaining about?A)There are too many students requiring special attention.B)They are under too much stress counselling needy students.C)Schools are inadequately equipped to implement any intervention.D) They lack the necessary resources to address pupils' mental problems.47. What do we learn from the passage about community health services in Britain?A) They have deteriorated due to budget cuts.B) They facilitate local residents' everyday lives.C) They prove ineffective in helping mental patients.D) They cover preventative care for the local residents.48. Where does the author suggest mental health services be placed?A)At home.B)At school.C)In hospitals.D) In communities.49. What do we learn from the recent studies?A) Students prefer to rely on peers to relieve stress and anxiety.B) Young people are keen on building meaningful relationships.C) Students are more comfortable seeking counselling in school.D)Young people benefit from various kinds of outdoor activities.50.What does the author mean by a cultural shift (Line 2,Para.6)?A) Simplification of schools' academic curriculums.B)Parents' involvement in schools' policy-making.C) A change in teachers' attitudes to mental health.D) A change in the conception of what schools are.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Picture this: You're at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is $ 3.50 and the large is $ 5.50. It's a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $ 5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous. But there's a third option, a medium soda for $5.25. Medium may be the perfect amount of soda for you, but the large is only a quarter more. If you're like most people, you end up buying the large (and taking a bathroom break midshow).If you're wondering who would buy the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. In fact, there's a good chance the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy(诱饵),making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.I have written about this peculiarity in human nature before with my friend Dan Ariely, who studied this phenomenon extensively after noticing pricing for subscriptions(订阅)to The Economist.The digital subscription was $ 59, the print subscription was $ 125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real”choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. But the addition of the bad option made people much more likely to choose the more expensive print plus digital option.Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance”and it means that people gravitate toward the choice nearest a clearly inferior option. Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember.Lucky for consumers, almost no one in the business community understands it.The decoy effect works because of the way our brains assign value when making choices. Value is almost never absolute; rather, we decide an object's value relative to our other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation changes.51.Why does the author ask us to imagine buying food in the movie theater?A)To illustrate people's peculiar shopping behavior.B) To illustrate the increasing variety of snacks there.C) To show how hard it can be to choose a drink there.D) To show how popular snacks are among movie fans.52.
